The first season of Germany's Next Topmodel (often abbreviated to GNTM) aired on German television network ProSieben from 25 January 2006 to 29 March 2006, with twelve girls in the competition. 18-year-old Lena Gercke came off as this season's winner. She became a successful model after the show and the host of Austria's Next Topmodel. IMG Models manages the winner and also managed first runner-up and second runner-up for one year.
The first season copied many photo shoot ideas from America's Next Top Model, especially from the first season. It has also gone with almost three episodes with a double-elimination for the models. The show was hosted by top model Heidi Klum. The international destinations for this season were New York City, Los Angeles and Paris.
